At dusk, the red sun in the sky slowly sinks into the horizon. The gorgeous sunset poured over the skyscraper ridge, casting a yellow halo on the valleys, rivers, and woods of this land. The white city walls of Lishan City also became particularly dazzling. The light reflected from the city walls was extremely dazzling.
Yang Ji, Zhang Chuchen, and Liu Xu were sitting on a large smooth rock on the cliff. They had a panoramic view of Lishan City and the Sui Army camp at the foot of the mountain. Next to the three of them, there were two golden falcons and a gyrfalcon. Perched.
He took three thousand soldiers upstream along the Tang River and arrived at the back hill of Lishan City as early as noon; he had been sitting here for half a day, when he watched Yang Lun attack the city as an outsider. At that time, it felt like watching an extremely tragic war movie.
As the saying goes, you can see far when you stand high. He looked down from a high position for most of the day and found that the Sui army actually had several opportunities to attack Lishan City. However, because the Sui army was located below Lishan City, he could not see the entire battlefield situation. , causing the fighter planes to miss one by one. However, Yang Ji also saw clearly the deployment of the Goguryeo army.
Most of the Goguryeo soldiers in the city were deployed in the west city facing the Sui army camp. Although there were two camps in the east city, there were not many soldiers in them. Judging from the situation of enemy soldiers returning to their camps after the war, there were only a thousand soldiers at most in the East City, while the South City and the North City did not even have military camps except for soldiers patrolling the city. As for the war horses of the Goguryeo army, as well as the horses, oxen, donkeys, and mules used to pull the carts, they were all concentrated in the middle of the city.
All the information presented by Lishan City in this half-day not only gave Yang Ji the "Eye of God", but also provided great convenience for seizing the city at night.
Suddenly, Yang Ji stood up from the ground. Seeing this, Zhang Chuchen and Liu Xu quickly got up and hid far away, while two golden falcons and a gyrfalcon also flapped their wings and flew away.
But Yang Ji took off his belt, held the gun with both hands as if no one was watching, leaned back slightly, and the urine drew an arc in the air, shooting down the mountain; a strong mountain wind suddenly blew in from the southwest, The urine flowed back, and urine mist sprayed all over his face.
"Yes!" Zhang Chuchen and Liu Xu's little faces twisted into a ball.
"That's really weird. Can't you go to the woods behind?" Zhang Chuchen waited until Yang Ji finished urinating, then went up with a bulging water bag and said to Yang Ji with a look of disgust on his face: "You said you , this is already the third time, and you still have to urinate in the wind stupidly, aren’t you being a bitch?”
"This is not a bitch, but a man's romance; you women simply don't understand this wonderful feeling of secretly firing towards tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people." Yang Ji took a moment to shake the gun, put it back into his pants, and tied it up. After taking off his belt, he turned around and stretched out his hands to Zhang Chuchen.
Zhang Chuchen pulled out the plug, poured water for Yang Ji to wash his face, and complained angrily: "Smelly man!"
Yang Ji took the handkerchief Liuxu handed him, wiped his face carelessly, handed it back, and then said to Zhang Chuchen plausibly: "It smells a little bit, but you like it. It's really strange." pole."
"That's right!" LiuXu suppressed her laughter and said, "Some people even eat urine in order to have children."
Zhang Chuchen was so embarrassed that his earlobes turned red. She retorted with a trembling voice: "You are the same, but you still have the nerve to accuse me!"
"But I'm not hypocritical like you, and I don't deny it either!" Liuxu said.
"Who is so shameless like you!" Zhang Chuchen threw the covered water bag to the ground with a red face, and said to Liu Xu with a sneer: "Do you think I don't know you? You shameless little goblin , I even want to give it to the back... Uh-huh!"
Before he finished speaking, Xia Fei covered his mouth with catkins.
Yang Ji was afraid that the two of them would fall from the fight, so he quickly dragged them down the cliff and back to the ground. Then he let go and watched their struggle with a silvery smile. In order to make the battle more intense, he would also fight from time to time. Also touch this and pinch that.
Yang Ji didn't take it to heart at all about the upcoming war.
This is not because Yang Ji is the "Foolish Female Qianwang" or that he does not take the war to heart, but because of the information presented in Lishan City, Zhu Can, Zhang Chuchen and Liu Xu, who do not understand the art of war, all know how to fight. , how can we easily seize the city, let alone be responsible for this?
The two great men, Yang Shanhui and Pei Xingyan, as well as Zhu Can and Yang Yan were fighting again. So Yang Ji took a break from his busy schedule to take a short vacation and play here with his two concubines.
"young!"
"young!"
"young!"
There were loud calls from the golden falcons and gyrfalcons in the sky. Yang Ji raised them and raised them. Although he didn't know what they were saying, he could feel the joy in their voices. Looking up, he saw three There were only five of them, and they were swooping down from the distance in a "meter"-shaped echelon.
Seeing this, Yang Ji put the thumb and index finger of his right hand together, put it to his mouth and blew a breath. His fingers were swinging erratically at the same time, and a sharp and ear-piercing whistle suddenly came from his hand.
Upon hearing the sound, the two golden falcons and two gyrfalcon escorting outside immediately spread their wings and penetrated into the clouds. The middle gyrfalcon continued to spread its wings and swooped towards Yang Ji.
When it landed on the ground and folded its wings, a strong wind blew up. It did not approach Yang Ji immediately, but ruffled the feathers next to its ears, and then swung its head rhythmically, swinging left and right, After a moment of bobbing up and down, a pair of frightening eagle eyes stared at Yang Ji motionless.
It shook its head at Yang Ji like this, not to be cute or to say hello to Yang Ji, but to judge the distance around it and whether it was safe here.
This is because the eyeballs of golden eagles and eagles are fixed in the orbits and cannot rotate freely in the orbits like humans. They can only look straight ahead. However, they can draw circles 360 degrees in front of them and can move in front of them. The head that rotates 180 degrees back and forth makes up for this flaw very well. What's even more amazing is that in addition to their eyes that can aim at targets, their ears can also be used as eyes. When they ruffle the feathers around their ears, their eyeballs are exposed from the "eyelids" near the ears; that is to say, their Both eyes and ears can locate an object together at the same time.
The gyrfalcon observed for a while, then jumped up to Yang Ji who was already squatting down. It shook its head and called "coo" at Yang Ji while raising one leg.
Yang Ji saw a small bamboo tube tied to its metallic legs, and quickly untied the outer strip of cloth and took off the bamboo tube.
"Cuckoo!" The Gyrfalcon gently pecked Yang Ji's hand with its barb-like beak. Seeing its owner looking at it with a half-smile, it pecked it again, but after waiting for a while, the owner actually listened. He didn't understand what he meant, and had no intention of expressing it at all. He simply closed his eyes and ears, and at the same time put his huge head towards Yang Ji's hand holding the bamboo tube, and then arched it forward.
It seems to be saying: The baby is very angry, so don’t even think about looking at what’s in the tube. If the baby falls asleep, no one can wake him up!
Zhang Chuchen was speechless. She stepped forward, took out a large piece of dried meat cut into strips from her pocket, handed it to Yang Ji, and said with a dark face: "You are teasing a good boy like this." ,Is this interesting?"
Yang Ji ignored Zhang Chuchen, took the dried meat and tapped lightly on the Gyrfalcon's head, then stared at the big head in his hand. As he expected, the Gyrfalcon's head twisted, the feathers beside its ears slowly stood up, and half of its eyes were exposed.
"Haha!" Yang Ji laughed happily when he saw its cute behavior. The Gyrfalcon stopped pretending, raised its head and took the dried meat away. I don't know whether it was shy or afraid that Yang Ji would regret it. Opening its wings, it flew away as if escaping.
"Alas!" Zhang Chuchen touched his forehead with his hand. To this day, she still doesn't understand why the relationship between Yang Ji, Jin Tuo and Gyrfalcon is so strong.
The two golden falcons and the three gyrfalcons were obtained during their first expedition to the Great Lakes area. At that time, they were still shaggy cubs that were half-dead by Ao. Jia Wude, who was an eagle slave at the time, could not do anything about them, but Yang Ji was the first person to treat them well. After feeding them meat, he identified Yang Ji.
In the following days, Zhang Chuchen and Liu Rumei were fed far more time and times than Yang Ji, but these heartless beasts would forget about them as soon as they saw Yang Ji. Even if it was the same piece of meat, they would be stunned after feeding it. If Yang Ji were to feed him instead, he would feast immediately; and acting coquettishly and cutely was only for Yang Ji.
Sometimes they pretend to beat Yang Ji in front of the withered falcon, and it
They also pecked people fiercely.
But the most unlucky one is their enemy Jia Wude. This person has been promoted to the royal household officer who is in charge of hunting and other matters; he leads the team to tame the eagles and pigeons in the palace. However, while Jin Tuo and Gyrfalcon remembered the first person who was nice to them, they also remembered Jia Wude who almost killed Ao, so when they saw him, they attacked desperately.
When Jia Wude scolded one of them, it would call the other four. Each time, they would peck their enemies until they were covered in bruises and motionless, and then they flew away with satisfaction.
However, Jia Wude is also a strange person. Although he has successfully killed many eagles and falcons in the past few years, he considers them to be stupid birds because they did not seek revenge from him. The five birds seeking revenge from him were considered by him to be the smartest birds in the world. Every time they were pecked half to death, they were proud of them and showed off to other eagle slaves triumphantly. , calling these injuries the highest achievement in the Eagle Slave world.
After he recovered from his injuries, he immediately ran for fun wearing a helmet with only one eye exposed and full of iron mesh and a crossbow-proof suit, and was tortured again.
Yang Ji was afraid that he would be killed by five birds when he was not wearing a helmet or crossbow suit, so he advised him not to provoke these five vicious birds that could break heads and kill people; instead of listening, he said this plausibly This method is the best way to keep the five birds wild; if these five birds no longer peck their enemies, it means they are stupid and useless.
Yang Ji couldn't persuade him several times, but he also thought that Jia Wude was the master in the world of bird training. He had already understood birds and their nature for a long time, so he had made the mistake of an amateur commanding an expert, so he didn't bother to care about that bird fanatic. , let him tease and toss.
"As expected!" Yang Ji read the letter written by Murong Xianyue. In addition to saying that Yang Lun would fully cooperate with the harassment tonight, the letter also mentioned the latest military information.
Zhang Chuchen, who was teasing the birds in the sky with meat, immediately stopped what he was doing when he heard this, came over and asked, "Why is it so unexpected?"
"Brother Teng Wang's scouts deployed in the southern part of the Liaodong Plain sent him important military information one after another an hour ago." Yang Ji took the dried meat from Zhang Chuchen's hand, stretched out his hand, and Zhang Chuchen couldn't stop teasing him. The one that didn't come down immediately swooped down and snatched it away.
Yang Ji didn't care which one it was, and while feeding them meat, he said: "The lord of Jian'an City, You Ziche, is Yuan Ziyou's third brother. He personally led 40,000 cavalry to escort a detailed number of siege equipment to the southeast. Gaimou City and Anshi City marched, while Wu Tai'an, the lord of Qianshan City, led 20,000 cavalry to join Yuanzi Che. The purpose was to seize Gaimou and Anshi City and open up the road south."
"The deputy city lord of Jian'an City is Yang Wanchun's father, Yang Xian. This man led 10,000 elite cavalry to march towards Lishan City. The leader of Licheng City, Jiying, led 10,000 elite cavalry to march from south to north. His purpose was also to march towards Lishan City. Mountain city."
"In addition, Dong Zhong, the lord of Yingcheng City, and Tan Hong, the lord of Shiqiao City, each led 15,000 infantry and cavalry to march towards the ancient city in the middle and upper reaches of Tanghe River. Together with the 5,000 defenders of the ancient city, the total force totaled 35,000. The purpose was very Obviously it is to capture Hengshan City guarded by Wei Yunqi."
"Oh my God!" Liuxu added up the numbers one by one according to Yang Ji's report. The final figure shocked her. She looked at Yang Ji and said in surprise: "Master, Gao Yuan'er just suffered a few big defeats and lost twenty or thirty troops at least. However, he actually brought out another 115,000 elite troops. If we include the troops and young men near Liaodong City, they currently have at least 300,000 to 400,000 troops in Liaodong. Isn’t this an exaggeration?”
"It's not an exaggeration at all! After all, Goguryeo is a country that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years. The wealth of Gao Yuan, a prodigal son, is unimaginable. In recent years, he has continued to send troops and young men to Liaodong. Now with this huge army in Liaodong, we "I'm not surprised at all." Yang Ji knew that Goguryeo in history was severely beaten twice by Yang Guang. Although the Sui Dynasty suffered heavy losses and fell as a result, the first and second wars launched by Yang Guang , also caused Goguryeo to suffer a lot. However, when Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo in the 19th year of Zhenguan, he could still provide more than 600,000 troops. This also shows how terrifying Goguryeo’s background is.
Liuxu's eyes widened and she murmured: "This so-called small country is far more powerful than the previous Turkic Khanate. It's really unbelievable. If I hadn't experienced it myself, it would be unimaginable."
"yes
ah! "Zhang Chuchen also felt incredible. She said to Yang Ji: "Master, if I were Gao Yuan, I would definitely destroy Silla and Baekje first, unify the Haixi Peninsula and then lead the army northward, but he is not like that. It’s really weird to do this!”
"Maybe it was caused by internal strife!" Zhang Chuchen's strangeness was also strange in Yang Ji's heart. In his opinion, Goguryeo sent troops to annex Silla at the same time, whether in the Gaoyuan period or the Gao Jianwu period in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. and Baekje's strength; logically speaking, it would undoubtedly be better and safer for them to march north after unifying the peninsula, but none of their brothers did so.
The main reason is that the nine achievements are related to the fact that the leaders of the Gaoyuan family have equal power, and the leader is weak and the minister is strong. Apart from these two reasons, Yang Ji really can't think of anything else.
Zhang Chuchen didn't understand the art of war, but she also knew that Yang Lun and Wei Yunqi's troops were the only ones on the southern battlefield, and the soldiers they led were all miscellaneous soldiers. She glanced at Yang Ji worriedly and asked, "Sir, the enemy's army The situation at this time is extremely great and the army cannot be without you. Should we, should we withdraw our troops and go back?"
"What I'm most worried about is that the enemy troops stay behind closed doors. If they stay in the city, we can only attack one city at a time. In the end, even if we win, we will end up killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred to ourselves." Victory. The enemy troops are now out in force, giving us the opportunity to annihilate the enemy in the wild, which I couldn't ask for."
Yang Ji smiled coldly and continued: "What I fear most is war, which is siege warfare, and field combat is what I am good at. I will definitely take these 115,000 soldiers."
As he spoke, he suddenly felt a weight on his body. He looked around and saw a nympho hanging on either side!
Fortunately, Xian Yufang came over and saw that this was normal. Yang Ji quickly said, "Xianyu, go and call Yang Shanhui and Pei Xingyan."
"Here!"
